1* BlackSheepHit: "Jumper" sounds very different from most of their other songs.
2* ChartDisplacement: On Alternative Airplay, they had four top 10 hits, with "Semi-Charmed Life" as their sole #1 hit. "Jumper", despite being arguably just as popular, only peaked at #9 there. It was beaten by "How's It Going To Be" and "Never Let You Go" (which are still fairly well-known but not quite as iconic as "Jumper").
3** On Mainstream Rock, "Semi-Charmed Life" peaked at #26. They had three other entries, none of which are their well-known hits: "Graduate" (which peaked at ''the same #26''), "Anything" (#35), and "Losing A Whole Year" (#36). "Graduate" and "Losing A Whole Year" are both completely forgotten outside of their fanbase, and "Anything" is so obscure that it was the only single not to be included on ''A Collection'' (a greatest hits album from 2006).
4** Believe it or not, on the Active Rock charts, "Graduate" hit #18 and outpeaked "Life" ''by seven spots!''
5** Their self-titled album was ''not'' a top 10 hit on the Billboard 200. It was outpeaked by "Ursa Major" (#3), "Out of The Vein (#12), and "Dopamine" (#13), all of which were immediately forgotten. Nevertheless, the self-titled album is still easily the most famous, selling the most copies and spawning their three biggest pop hits.
6* ThePeteBest: Brad Hargreaves is the band's fifth drummer.
7** Bassist Jason Slater left early in the band's history. He later became a record producer.
8* ScheduleSlip: According to Website/TheOtherWiki, ''Ursa Major'' had been "anticipated since mid-2007". It was released in August 2009.
9* WordOfGay: Stephen Jenkins said that the titular character in "Jumper" is [[GayngstInducedSuicide a gay man about to jump off a bridge]].
